Running Through Checkpoints - The Reality Of The Palestine Marathon Recording from Ramallah after the Palestine Marathon, Matt sits down with Palestinian runner Ahmad Taher alongside Reem to unpack a race experience that goes far beyond performance. With multiple postponements and uncertainty around travel, the trip was only locked in seven days out, setting the tone for a week defined by unpredictability both on and off the course.

He shares how he nearly stepped off the course around 22km before regrouping to finish, reflecting on the mental side of racing in tough conditions. The conversation goes deeper into Ahmad's journey, starting with the first Palestine Marathon in 2013 where he ran with minimal preparation, through to racing internationally in Spain, Barcelona, and Paris. He explains how the marathon itself was founded through the Right to Movement initiative, with a course that passes the Church of the Nativity, the separation wall, refugee camps, and military checkpoints - highlighting the realities of restricted movement in daily life. Ahmad and Reem speak openly about what it's like training in Palestine, including encounters with soldiers, raids, tear gas, and the constant need to check news before heading out to run. Despite this, Ahmad remains committed to improving within Palestine, aiming toward the national marathon record of around 2:29 and targeting future races in Amman and San Sebastian. They also reflect on the emotional moment of fellow runner Mohammed Alasi returning to competition to place second after 32 months in administrative detention, adding further weight to what this race represents beyond sport.

   In this episode of WarDocs, Dr. David Hilmers, a retired Marine Colonel, four-time NASA Space Shuttle astronaut, and dual-trained physician in internal medicine and pediatrics offers a sweeping perspective on what it means to apply hard-won lessons from space exploration, global infectious disease response, and humanitarian medicine to the pressing challenges facing military medicine today.    Dr. Hilmers traces a career that began with a chance bulletin posted in Japan advertising NASA's new astronaut program. With an aviation background and advanced degrees in electrical engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School, he applied on a whim and spent twelve years at NASA — flying the first mission of Atlantis, the first post-Challenger flight, two classified DOD missions, and a scientific mission just before starting medical school. After retiring from the astronaut corps, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of medicine, completing a dual residency before dedicating subsequent decades to sub-Saharan HIV, Ebola response in Liberia, malnutrition research, refugee health in Bangladeshi camps, and hepatitis B elimination across the Pacific.     The conversation covers the parallel demands of deep space medicine and austere combat environments — both defined by communication blackouts, limited resources, and the need for expert decision-support without a physician readily available. Dr. Hilmers describes his consultancy work for NASA on Earth-independent medical operations using mixed reality and large language models, and explains how these same AI-driven tools represent a critical force multiplier for a special forces medic, Navy corpsman, or Space Force guardian operating in denied or degraded environments.    He introduces the knapsack problem — a NASA-developed optimization framework that balances mission requirements against the mass, volume, power, and training cost of medical equipment — and argues persuasively that this model is directly applicable to the prolonged field care challenge posed by large-scale ground combat operations (LSCO). As the golden hour becomes a relic of counterinsurgency-era warfare, AI-powered kit optimization and just-in-time procedural training become existential requirements, not enhancements.     On wearable technology, Dr. Hilmers articulates a layered, agentic-AI approach to battlefield health monitoring — smart garments, sweat sensors, tactical watches, smart rings, helmet concussion dosimeters, and hearables — all operating under strict emissions control, with edge computing that pushes actionable alerts to the individual soldier without requiring eyes on a screen. The real holy grail is seamless integration into situational awareness networks that give squad leaders and brigade commanders real-time readiness data.      Dr. Hilmers closes with a frank assessment of soft power: the withdrawal of USAID and PEPFAR funding has ceded influence in the Pacific and across the developing world to China, with projected millions of preventable deaths. He calls on military medicine to lead humanitarian engagement as both a moral imperative and a strategic tool. His final advice to young military medicine professionals — dare to be more than you think you can be, and know that it is never too late to reinvent yourself — distills a life of uncommon service into a single, actionable mandate.   Chapters (00:00:00-00:01:44) Introduction: From Aviator to Astronaut to Academic Physician (00:01:45-00:06:25) AI Tools for Austere Environments: Space, Combat, and Remote Medicine (00:06:26-00:13:19) Lessons from Ebola, Refugee Camps, and Global Infectious Disease (00:13:20-00:18:49) The Knapsack Problem: Optimizing Medical Kits for Prolonged Field Care (00:18:50-00:27:16) Wearable Technology and the Digital Twin Warfighter (00:27:17-00:31:18) Bench to Battlefield: Academia, Industry, Military Collaboration and Closing Advice Chapter Summaries (00:00:00-00:01:44) Introduction: From Aviator to Astronaut to Academic Physician Dr. Hilmers recounts a career trajectory shaped by opportunism and determination. Drafted-era military service led to Marine aviation, graduate engineering degrees at the Naval Postgraduate School, and a chance NASA application while stationed in Japan. Twelve years as an astronaut on four Space Shuttle missions gave way to the long-deferred dream of medicine — a dual residency and decades of academic and humanitarian work that followed.   (00:01:45-00:06:25) AI Tools for Austere Environments: Space, Combat, and Remote Medicine Dr. Hilmers draws direct parallels between deep space medical operations and combat or remote-area medicine: limited communications, absence of ground-based expert support, and the demand for just-in-time training. His NASA consultancy work on Earth-independent medical operations using mixed reality and large language models maps directly onto the needs of a corpsman, special forces medic, or Space Force guardian in a denied environment.   (00:06:26-00:13:19) Lessons from Ebola, Refugee Camps, and Global Infectious Disease The Liberia Ebola response revealed the fatal flaw of large, fixed treatment units in an outbreak that moved dynamically across the country. That lesson produced the EZ Pod — a collapsible, helicopter-transportable isolation unit developed at Baylor. Experience in Bangladeshi Rohingya refugee camps reinforced the life-saving power of vaccination and the growing threat of climate-driven disease migration. The core lesson: enter a community to ask what is needed, not to impose solutions.   (00:13:20-00:18:49) The Knapsack Problem: Optimizing Medical Kits for Prolonged Field Care Drawn from NASA mission planning, the knapsack problem is a systematic optimization of medical kit contents against the probability, fatality, and resource cost of each anticipated condition. Dr. Hilmers argues this framework is essential as LSCO scenarios eliminate the golden hour and require prolonged casualty care in the field. AI is positioned as the engine that can dynamically optimize triage decisions, antibiotic allocation, and resource sequencing in real time.   (00:18:50-00:27:16) Wearable Technology and the Digital Twin Warfighter A layered ecosystem of smart garments, sweat sensors, tactical watches, smart rings, helmet concussion dosimeters, and hearables can create a real-time digital twin of the individual soldier and the collective readiness of a unit. The critical design constraints are EMCON compliance, MIL-SPEC durability, edge computing without internet dependency, and seamless integration into situational awareness networks from the squad level to the brigade. The holy grail is actionable data pushed to the soldier without requiring eyes off the mission.   (00:27:17-00:31:18) Bench to Battlefield: Academia, Industry, Military Collaboration and Closing Advice Effective innovation requires continuous, bottom-up communication among academia, industry, and the military — and that means all three groups must get their hands dirty in field testing. Dr. Hilmers cautions against fitting a "sexy AI application" to a problem it does not solve. His closing message to young military medicine professionals: take every opportunity the military offers, dare to exceed your own expectations, and know that reinvention is always possible.       Take Home Messages Austere Environments Share a Common Medical Playbook: Whether the setting is a spacecraft bound for Mars, a combat forward operating base, or a refugee camp in Bangladesh, the medical challenges converge: degraded communications, absent specialist support, and the need for expert clinical decision-making at the point of care. Building systems — AI tools, training protocols, or equipment kits — that address these shared demands creates solutions with broad applicability across military and humanitarian contexts.   Optimize the Kit Before the Mission, Not During the Crisis: The knapsack problem is an operational imperative. Every gram of medical equipment displaces something else, and every gap in the kit becomes a potential fatality during prolonged casualty care. AI-driven optimization of medical kit contents against mission-specific risk profiles must become a standard pre-deployment process, especially as LSCO eliminates the expectation of rapid evacuation.   Just-in-Time Training Is a Force Multiplier, Not a Substitute for Preparation: AI-enabled procedural guidance at the point of care — showing a corpsman exactly how to perform a cricothyrotomy in the moment it is required — can bridge lethal knowledge gaps in combat. This capability augments, it does not replace, rigorous pre-deployment training. The human must remain in the loop; AI is an advisor, not a commander.   Wearable Technology Only Delivers Value When Integrated Into the Fight: A smart ring that predicts illness or a helmet sensor that quantifies blast exposure generates no operational value if the data is not actionable at the point of decision. Battlefield wearables must operate under strict emissions control, function without internet connectivity, perform edge computing locally, and surface alerts to the soldier or commander seamlessly — without requiring eyes off the mission. The integration challenge is harder than the sensor challenge.   Military Humanitarian Medicine Is Both a Moral Obligation and a Strategic Asset: Soft power is not a secondary mission — it is a strategic instrument. Withdrawal from programs like USAID and PEPFAR cedes influence to adversaries in every region where that presence is abandoned. Military medicine, with its global footprint, logistical capacity, and trained personnel, is uniquely positioned to demonstrate that American warfighters can be both deadly and compassionate. Investing in military humanitarian medicine builds alliances that firepower alone cannot secure.   Dr. Hilmers Biography    David C. Hilmers, MD, EE, MPH, MSEE, is a multifaceted physician, professor, and former NASA astronaut with a diverse career spanning aerospace medicine, international humanitarian relief, and military service. A faculty member at Baylor College of Medicine since 1999, he currently works as an academic hospitalist in Houston, Texas.

In this episode of Being Human, Richard Atherton talks with Ali Mahlodji, CEO of futureOne, keynote speaker, five-time author, and guest lecturer at the University of Cambridge. As a toddler, Ali found himself in a refugee camp in Austria. At 13 he started stuttering and didn't stop until he was 22. He left school early, worked more than 40 jobs ranging from floor cleaner to carpenter, and taught himself software engineering using library books. After 70 application letters to OG Silicon Valley giant, Sun Microsystems, Ali lands himself his first tech role.  What made the difference for him was something his mother did every day, no matter how tough things got: she told him she loved him just as he was. Not for his grades or achievements, but simply for being himself. Now, through futureOne's Heroes programme, he helps people in 40 countries break free from old patterns. In this conversation, he shares why, with AI on the rise, doing this inner work is more important than ever.   We discuss: Escaping Iran aged 2 Dealing with his father's mental breakdown Getting his break in Tech Building a start-up and exiting Recovering from burnout and building futureOne Links:  Ali's Website futureOne

This month we were delighted to be joined by a colleague from Social and Cultural Anthropology at University of Helsinki. Stefan Millar is a Social Anthropologist who specializes in the state, migration, colonialism, and infrastructures. Stefan is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care. Our conversation focused most directly on Stefan's PhD research, which examined the role of the state in the context of Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya. Stefan has focused on the state and infrastructures within the space of the refugee camp. Stefan gives us insight into his personal trajectory and how he got interested in the long durée implications of colonialism. In his current work in Kenya, he is looking at urban infrastructures that refugees create to mitigate the end of aid (US Aid and the withdrawal of European aid), especially in relation to food and water. Stefan is interested in how people navigate this context and what alternatives they develop to continue surviving under the conditions of redistribution of aid. On the theoretical side, we talked extensively about Stefan's critique of Giorgio Agamben's state of exception.

When Maung and his family, his neighbors, strangers, cross the border from Myanmar into Bangladesh, they are officially refugees. But there's no rest for the weary, and the hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees escaping to Bangladesh have to build a refugee camp for themselves. As Maung helps his family assemble a temporary shelter, a sort of shadow city starts to rise up around them. Almost a decade later, Maung's family is still in Cox's Bazar.This week, Maung, other refugees and experts take listeners through a tour of life in the world's largest refugee camp and life as a refugee more broadly.Maung Sawyeddollah: Agent of Change, Rohingya MuslimChinda Precious: Nigerian refugeeJohannes van der Klaauw: Former representative at the United Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesTamanna Tiku: Urban DesignerMausi Segun: Executive Director of the Africa Division at Human Rights WatchNadia Hardman: Researcher, Refugee and Migrant Rights Division at Human Rights WatchKyle Knight: Former Associate Director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights WatchBelkis Wille: Associate Director of Crisis & Conflict division at Human Rights Watch.Emina Ćerimović: Associate Director, Disability Rights Division at Human Rights Watch

At nine years old, Peng-Sang Cau was living in a Thai refugee camp with nothing but the clothes on her back. Her family had survived Cambodia's killing fields — where 33% of the population was starved, worked, or tortured to death. They escaped with rice as currency, got mugged crossing the border, and were rescued by a Red Cross truck. Her parents had lost everything: a bicycle parts manufacturing business built from nothing, years of 3-hour sleep nights, a life constructed on handshakes because her father couldn't read or write. The only reason her family survived the Khmer Rouge work camps? A former employee remembered how her parents had treated him like family. That lesson — how you treat people when you have power determines whether they save you when you have none — became the foundation of everything Peng built next. In this deeply personal episode encore presentation of an episode from the Siemens Pioneers podcast, Peng shares her journey from fleeing genocide as a child to founding Transformix, one of Canada's premier automation companies, which she grew to an eight-figure acquisition. But this isn't a rags-to-riches fairy tale. This is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and what it actually takes to build something lasting when the world tells you what you can't do. You'll hear the painful decisions: Walking away from a $28M contract that represented 90% of revenue to protect loyal employees Fighting VCs who couldn't comprehend a hardware-software hybrid company Choosing reinvestment over personal wealth during a divorce and company crisis Building culture on her mother's wisdom: discipline privately, compliment publicly You'll learn Peng's leadership framework: Integrity — "Your word is gold" (the supplier who trusted her with $150K because of her reputation) Respect — Debate fiercely, but honor each other Passion — "There's the door. I'm not for everybody." Innovation — Not just technology. Different thinking. Being "stupid" enough to challenge norms. And you'll discover why Siemens brought her on as their startup ecosystem leader — because she's lived every dimension of the startup journey: founder, CEO, angel investor, board member, acquisition survivor, and mentor who understands the pain of building something from nothing. Hosts Paul Musso and Jim Gernatt welcome Peng to the Siemens family in this inspiring conversation about overcoming impossible odds, treating people like human beings in an industry that often doesn't, and using technology to create enterprises that last — not just companies that make a living. For startup founders, manufacturing leaders, investors, and anyone building in hard tech or industrial innovation: This is what leadership under pressure actually looks like. Perfect for listeners interested in manufacturing innovation, industrial automation, startup leadership, overcoming adversity, building sustainable enterprises, diversity in tech, angel investing, and creating lasting impact in traditional industries.

For many of us, the Middle East is a place of intractable conflict and endless complexity. Ambassador Stuart Jones lived those complications for much of his diplomatic career. Whether studying maps with Iran-backed militia leaders in Iraq, arguing troop withdrawals at the salad bar with John McCain, or sneaking food for hungry refugeess over the Syrian border, Stu Jones was there when it mattered. His insights may not end the current war — but will surely help you understand it better!

In this episode of Displacing Universities Ian speaks with Paul O'Keefe. Paul worked for many years at in Kakkuma refugee camp in Kenya, including for the University of Geneva's Inzone project. He also has strong ties with Vijana Twaweza Club, a sustainable agriculture organisation which is based in the camp, a group he keeps in touch with as part of his new job as Head of Education and Research at Airfield Estate in Dublin.

Send a textImagine this scene:A family's house was destroyed when it was bombed during a war. They got out with the clothes on their backs – nothing more. When they were fleeing, the mother was hit with fragments from another bomb. It tore off part of her leg. Dirt got in the wound.They made it to a refugee camp, but the wound got infected. With nothing available to treat the injury, the infection got worse. She had a drug-resistant infection that wasn't treatable with regular antibiotics. Her entire leg and part of her hip had to be removed to save her life. She will have a physical disability for the rest of her life.This is just one story of drug resistance or antimicrobial resistance (AMR)  and the impact of armed conflict. Report after report finds that victims of armed conflict and refugees – both those seeking shelter abroad and inside their own countries – are especially likely to suffer from drug-resistant infections.Dr. Aula Abbara, Consultant in Infectious Diseases and Acute Medicine and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College, London, has been studying the problem firsthand.She's worked with teams that found people injured in Syria's 15-year-long conflict not only suffered terrible wounds, but then developed worse infections because of crowded and unsanitary conditions in healthcare facilities. These war-damaged hospital laboratories in Syria, especially, lacked the capacity to test for drug-resistant bacteria, and so doctors didn't know which antibiotics to prescribe to treat patients' infections.Solutions require taking a One Health approach, Dr. Abbara and colleagues have found.She and her colleagues call for programs to bring in more health professionals and healthcare access; introduction of easy-to-use diagnostics so people's infections can be immediately diagnosed and thus treated with the correct drugs; stopping the improper use and distribution of antibiotics; and proper surveillance so that professionals know which drug-resistant infections are spreading and where.In this episode of One World, One Health, Dr. Abbara chats with host Maggie Fox about what she's seen and what might help.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has blocked the immediate return of an Australian woman from Syria via a temporary exclusion order. It follows what the government is calling its no assistance policy for 34 citizens recently turned back by Syrian authorities. While the Prime Minister insists those who joined the IS Group must live with their choices, legal and human rights experts argue that abandoning children and coerced women in detention camps poses a greater long-term radicalisation risk than bringing them home to Australia.

Fascism has never really gone away—but it has changed shape. From the street-level racism and open organising of the British National Party in 1990s East London to today's globalised far right, this episode traces how authoritarian politics have moved from the margins to the mainstream.Host Nick Dearden draws on personal experience of anti-fascist organising, and is joined by Seema Syeda from the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants and co-author of Creeping Fascism, and Luke Cooper, author of Authoritarian Contagion and academic at the London School of Economics. Their conversation explores how the far right has built international networks, institutions, and narratives that now feel disturbingly normal. They dig into why “fascism” remains a contested term on the left, what's genuinely new about the current moment, and what can still be done to resist it.In This Episode The rise and fall of the BNP, street fascism, and the mass anti-racist movements that defeated it Debates about whether “fascism” is the right label for today's authoritarian politics Key similarities and differences between past and present far-right movements What a Reform government might actually look like in power, and whether figures like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson represent fundamentally different threats The “Unite the Kingdom” rally and what it reveals about the current far right Featured Organisation: No to HassockfieldNo To HassockfieldFacebook: The No to Hassockfield CampaignInstagram: @no2hassockfieldTwitter/X: @No2HassockfieldLinks to things we discussedCreeping Fascism by Neil Faulkner with Samir Dathi, Phil Hearse and Seema Syeda.Authoritarian Contagion by Luke CooperA Town Within: Visiting Baqa'a Refugee Camp by Madihah KarimWhat happened when I met my Islamophobic troll by Hussein KesvaniThe law of the jungle by Nick DeardenPraxis: The essential guide for changing minds on migrationUNRWA: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugeesTime For Change: The evidence-based policies that can actually fix the immigration systemMake a donation to COUNTER•POWERABOUT THE PODCASTCOUNTER•POWER is brought to you by Stop Trump Coalition, Another Europe Is Possible and Global Justice Now, three organisations at the centre of the new global resistance. This podcast isn't just about chatting and conversation — it's about turning ideas into action and building real community power. That's why we have a simple pledge to you, our audience.

Kate Varley, Reporter, highlights the situation in Bangladesh, where aid agencies are warning that conditions are reaching breaking point at the world's largest refugee camp.

In this inspiring and deeply human episode of Rethink Real Estate, Ben Brady sits down with Long Doan — Vietnamese refugee turned powerhouse Broker/CEO and Founder of Realty Group — to unpack one of the most remarkable growth journeys in modern real estate. Long shares the story that shaped his entire life: escaping Vietnam alone at age 13, surviving a refugee camp nicknamed “Hell's Island,” and using that experience to build a 650-agent independent brokerage rooted in service, culture, and leadership.Long breaks down the real foundation behind Realty Group's meteoric rise: building a people-first company where alignment, relationship-building, omnipresent branding, and agent empowerment beat every traditional brokerage model. He details the systems behind their 12-office footprint, 4,000+ annual transactions, and how they've engineered profitability in a shrinking-margin industry. From referrals to education, from culture to community, Long reveals exactly how their model evolved — and why helping others is not just their motto, but their operating system.The conversation then shifts into the big news: Realty Group's strategic expansion into LPT, unlocking nationwide scalability, stock opportunities, and residual revenue for agents. Long explains why the next era of brokerage success belongs to companies that combine culture with modern infrastructure — and how exponential growth becomes possible when you stop competing in old frameworks and start building ecosystems.If you're a brokerage leader, team owner, or agent who wants to understand what the future of the real estate brokerage looks like — and how one man's story fuels a mission bigger than business — this episode will stay with you long after it ends.⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics[00:00:00] – Introduction & why this episode is a rerun favorite[00:01:30] – Long's refugee journey and the night that shaped his lifelong “why”[00:04:56] – Building a new life at 13: survival, mindset, and responsibility[00:07:55] – How hardship became the foundation of leadership & service[00:12:16] – Growing Realty Group to 650+ agents across 12 offices[00:17:06] – Recruiting through relationships, alignment, and omnipresence[00:20:59] – The REAL reason agents choose (and stay with) a brokerage[00:24:53] – Profitability, fee models & building revenue verticals[00:29:36] – The future of Realty Group and the announcement: joining LPT

In this important interview, Palestinian artist Monther Jawabreh reflects on growing up in a refugee camp and discovering art as a way to fight for his people's story. He speaks about collective memory, political commitment, and why concrete has become his material of resistance. Jawabreh's work transforms loss into testimony, challenging erasure through form, memory and struggle. ALL EYES ON PALESTINE EXHIBITION The All Eyes on Palestine Exhibition raises awareness about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Through the work of Palestinian artists, it creates a space for expression and solidarity, where art becomes a form of resistance. It showcases a generation of artists whose work preserves the cultural identity of the land and its people. Their art bears witness to Palestinian identity shaped by ongoing trauma and struggle, compelling us to keep our eyes on Palestine. Curated by Elettra Stamboulis with co-curators Danae Stratou and Doris Hakim, the exhibition is presented in three sections: Land, Archaeologies of Memory, and Staying, Returning, Departing. MORE INFO All Eyes on Palestine will be launched in December 2025 in Athens, and later travel across Europe.

One of the themes that often comes up on the show is giving back to the community. Today I wanted to highlight two guests who instantly come to mind when talking about giving back—the incredible heart surgeon, Sir Magdi Yacoub and META's Regional Director, Fares Akkad.  This episode is part of our new segment, Double-Take, where I take a deep-dive into a single topic and connect the dots between some of our best conversations. When I spoke to Fares in late 2023, he had just come back from visiting the Za'atari Refugee Camp, where Meta has established a digital literacy program. And while Professor Yacoub already had a distinguished career as a cardiothoracic surgeon, he's leaving behind an even bigger legacy through his charity, Chain of Hope, building long-term impact on the lives of the children in developing communities.

Nashat Aljerwan and his family have lived at Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan for 12 years. But in 2023, a path to resettlement opened that would have allowed them to come to St. Louis. That path quickly closed. In the wake of President Trump's January executive order to suspend all refugee resettlement, the Aljerwan family became one amongn thousands already vetted, approved, and in limbo.

South of the Syrian capital Damascus, Yarmouk refugee camp was the scene of violent clashes between Bashar al-Assad's regime and rebel militias, and later the Islamic State group, during the almost 14-year-long Syrian war. Ahmed and Jihane Tameem were among those who fled the bombs at the end of 2012. Three years later, they left Syria and found refuge in Sweden with their two children. Now, after the fall of Assad, they have returned home to reunite with their loved ones. FRANCE 24's Claire Billet and Olivier Jobard report.

Middle East correspondent Perry Wilton spoke to Melissa Chan-Green about an Israeli airstrike that killed ten people, including six children, in central Gaza on Sunday. The Israeli army claims a technical error caused the strike which hit a crowd waiting to fill water containers in a refugee camp.

“I believe that when I sing things will change and we shall have a bright future. We are going to be the ambassadors of change for our country South Sudan." War and displacement leave scars that go beyond the physical. In Bidibidi, one of the world's largest refugee settlements, many struggle with trauma, substance abuse, and uncertainty. Bidibidi is home to over 250,000 refugees but a performing arts centre is helping refugees find healing, and hope for a better future, through music, dance, and theatre. Alan Kasujja speaks to Victor Aluonzi, who helped bring the project to life, as well as South Sudanese refugees Moses Modi and Mary Nadia, who find comfort in the arts.

The civil war in Sudan has been raging for nearly two years and has displaced an estimated 12 million people. Now, there are reports that the breakaway military faction, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has stormed the Zamzam Refugee Camp in North Darfur, Sudan's largest displacement camp. We hear from an expert who has been monitoring the situation on the ground. Denmark is dismantling immigrant neighborhoods where the government says residents — mostly people from the Middle East — don't share “Danish values.” A law that came into effect six years ago paved the way for the government to kick folks out of public housing, and then entice people who do have Danish values to move in. That is to say: white Danes. The project is sparking vocal criticism throughout Europe. Also, a balancing act in the city of Kyoto: how to preserve the city's spiritual heritage while still benefiting from the heavy tourism it draws. And, Ukrainian journalist and Wall Street Journal correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov stops by The World to discuss his recent novel, as well as the current situation in Ukraine.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.
